Hi, I'm trying to write my own ns economy calculator sort of thing and I need a list of all the major industries and government priorities. I've already searched the forums and on google, but found nothing. I figured this would be the place to ask. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

I dont know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but at least maybe a step in the right direction:
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/nationdata.cgi/nation=YOURNATIONHERE
(Obviously replace YOURNATIONHERE with your nation name)

Firstly, as E-xtremia points out, the XML feed is very useful (it seems to be the basis for NSEconomy, for example).
Secondly, this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=275857) in Got Issues? lists industries and priorities, etc. Beyond that, there are certain things they like to keep quiet, so they won't necessarily let you know everything. Also, look at, for example, the forums on NSEconomy - they give you an idea of how to go about it.

E-Xtremia: Thanks, but it was my discovery of the NS XML feed through NSEconomy that sparked my interest in my current project. Specifically, the <MAJORINDUSTRY>Arms Manufacturing</MAJORINDUSTRY>
<GOVTPRIORITY>Social Welfare</GOVTPRIORITY> parts, which only reveal one from each catagory.
Gruenberg: Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for! Doublethanks to you, friend.
